Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tapered roller bearing of the type defined in the preamble to claim 1 .
  • each of the two radially inner half-races 10 is formed with a step 11 close to the inner end which faces towards the centre of the bearing.
  • This step serves, during the transfer stages which precede assembly of the sub units comprising the sets of rollers 12 and associated cages 13 on respective inner half-races, and before insertion of these sub-units into the outer race 14 , to prevent the rollers from accidentally escaping from the rolling tracks in the direction indicated by the arrows A and A′ in FIG. 1 .
  • the formation of the above-mentioned step involves a first disadvantage in that its shape, projecting radially from the rolling plane of the rollers, requires the provision of excess metal of a significant thickness t on the forged blank race, the outline of which is indicated in broken outline in FIG. 2 . Moreover, it takes a long time for the significant mass of material constituting the excess metal to be removed by turning and grinding operations (proportional to the quantity of excess metal to be removed); in addition, the weight of the forged blank is detrimentally effected by the excess metal part. This known technique is therefore disadvantageous from a productive point of view, relating both to the working time taken for finishing and the weight of the component, which detrimentally influences the transfer operations.
  • the said step involves a second disadvantage in that, to complete an inner half-race, the sub-unit comprising the preliminarily assembled rollers in their cage must be fitted onto the half-race by passing them over the step; this subunit is assembled by pressing the rollers and the cage in the opposite directions from those indicated by the arrows A and A′ in FIG. 1 .
  • the shape which is impressed in the stamping phase of the forging corresponds substantially to the shape of the finished product which is obtained subsequently by working, that is turning and grinding, the blank workpiece.
  • the presence of the step makes the conical surfaces C and C′ of the stamped blank and the finished piece respectively are not parallel. In the grinding operation, therefore, a surface (C′) is formed which is orientated differently from the surface (C) which was formed by stamping.
  • the inner cylindrical surface of the half-races is further worked in such a way as to form retaining grooves 16 for a temporary retainer ring 17 , usually of plastics or metal.
  • a temporary retainer ring 17 usually of plastics or metal.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a tapered roller bearing in which the radially inner races do not have the conventional step discussed above, so as to avoid the above-indicated disadvantages.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a bearing which does not need the conventional temporary retainer ring, and avoids the disadvantages associated therewith.
  • FIG. 1 is a partial axial section of a prior art tapered roller bearing
  • FIG. 2 is a partial axial section of an inner half-race formed according to the prior art
  • FIG. 3 is a partial axial section of a tapered roller bearing according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a partial axial section of an inner half-race for the bearing of FIG. 3 .
  • a tapered roller bearing comprises an outer race 14 , a pair of axially adjacent radially inner races (or half-races) 10 A and 10 B, two sets of tapered rollers 12 A, 12 B interposed between the outer race 14 and the inner races 10 A, 10 B respectively, and a pair of retainer cages 13 A, 13 B for the respective sets of rollers 12 A, 12 B.
  • Reference numerals 18 and 19 generally indicate retainer devices of known type fixed to the outer race 14 and interposed between this and each of the inner half-races 10 A, 10 B close to the outer sides of the bearing.
  • each half-race 10 A, 10 B is shaped in such a way as to have a respective groove 20 A, 20 B close to the axially inner end thereof.
  • the grooves 20 A, 20 B join the conical rolling surfaces C′ with radially outwardly projecting borders 21 A, 21 B situated at the axially inner ends of the half-races.
  • both the step 11 of FIG. 2 and the groove 16 intended to permit the engagement of the conventional temporary container ring are eliminated; this element is also eliminated as will be discussed hereinafter.
  • the cages 13 A, 13 B for retaining the rollers have respective radially inwardly projecting portions, preferably in the form of teeth or flexible tongues 22 A, 22 B.
  • the portions 23 A, 23 B of the flexible tongues of the cages facing towards the outer sides of the bearing are rounded so as to make it easier for them to ride over the raised portions 21 A, 21 B when the two sub-units constituted respectively by the rollers 12 A and cage 13 A, or rollers 12 B and cage 13 B, are pressed in opposite directions from those indicated by the arrows A and A′ to position the rollers onto the respective inner rolling tracks C′.
  • the flexible tongues snap engage into the grooves 20 A, 20 B. In this way the cages retain the rollers on the respective inner races during the handling and assembly steps which precede the assembly of each sub-unit, comprising inner-race, associated cage and rollers, into the outer race.
  • each of the two sub-units thus constituted is inserted into the outer race 14 as indicated by the arrows A and A′. Assembly of the bearing is completed by fixing the seal devices 18 and 19 onto the outer race.
  • the seal devices 18 and 19 are fixed to the outer race 14 in axial positions such that there is a predetermined small axial clearance d between each seal device and the axially outer ends 24 A, 24 B of the cages.
  • the axial clearance d is preferably in the range 0.5-2 mm and will in any case be chosen in such a way as to prevent the sub-units from becoming displaced too far outwardly (in the directions opposite those indicated by the arrows A and A′) so as to reach positions in which the rollers could accidentally escape from the bearing during the handling stages which precede the assembly of the complete bearing onto the motor vehicle.
  • the radial surface of the seal device against which the outer ends 24 A, 24 B of the cages can abut may indifferently be constituted either by a part of the metal annular insert 25 (as illustrated at the right hand side of FIG. 3) or by a part of the rubber seal 26 which is normally vulcanised onto the insert 25 (as illustrated at the left hand side of FIG. 3 ).
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and illustrated here, which are to be considered as examples of the bearing; but rather the invention is capable of modifications to the shape, arrangement of parts, constructional and functional details.
  • the axial clearance d discussed above could be formed by suitably dimensioning the cages and/or the seal devices.
